Hillary Clinton used her position in the State Department to award ‘disgraced’ Muhammad Yunus at least $13 million in grants, contracts and loans, despite his ouster from Grameen Bank in 2011, a Washington-based news portal says.

Yunus is also a Clinton Foundation donor, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF), which is a politically conservative news and opinion website based in Washington.
It published the report on Monday, headlined ‘Disgraced Clinton Donor Got $13M In State Dept Grants Under Hillary’.
The report highlighted “how Clinton mixed official government business with Clinton Foundation donors”.
Yunus gave between $100,000 and $300,000 to the foundation, it says, citing the Clinton Foundation website.
Groups allied to Yunus received an additional $11 million from USAID, it says citing the contracting website. “Yunus had business relationships with all of them”.
Last year, emails released from Clinton’s time as secretary of state suggested that Yunus had lobbied with her time and again to use her influence on the Bangladesh government to sway its opinion in his favour.
Hillary Clinton’s mixing of official work with foundation donors is reportedly the focus of a second, less publicised FBI public corruption investigation into the former secretary of state, according to the report.
